horror book - girl wearing purple with a mirror on the cover

i read this book like 8 years ago when i was in middle school..i got it out of the library there. i think it was part of a series but i can't remember what the book was called or the series or the author. i don't think there were that many books in the series though, or else my library just didn't have that many of them. i have been trying to find this forever with no luck.. hopefully someone knows and can help!!
thanks :)

oh and the book was paperback and the girl on the cover had dark hair..i'm pretty sure she was looking in the mirror. i kind of remember something to do with a mummy or some girl getting hurt and having her head wrapped like a mummy..not sure if it's in that book or another one in the series. i'm pretty sure the books were about a group of teenagers, not just one girl but that's the only one i can remember.

Cold Whisper by Rick Hautala is "A terrifying masterwork of horror set in Maine", according to the cover blurb, and has a dark-haired girl looking into a mirror on the cover. I haven't read the book yet, though, so I can't say if it fits the rest of what you remember.

I checked that book and it wasn't the one I remembered..but thanks for trying though. Geez this book is driving me crazy!!

That sounds to me like Edward Gorey's cover art from a John Bellairs book.

5: Oh! That book. *finds cover*

Edit: The Stolen Lake by Joan Aiken? http://www.librarything.com/work/123917/covers/

Maybe The Ghost in the Mirror by John Bellairs.

ahhh nope none of those are it :(
i'm starting to think i dreamed it up or something..lol

Might want to look at the covers of the R.L. Stein/Christopher Pike books. They were a popular horror series for young adults.

I looked at all the covers I could possibly find for the R.L. Stein and Christopher Pike books for hours..it seems like some of the drawings were very similar, I kept expecting to see the book I was looking for every time I went to the next page but I couldn't find it. I was thinking maybe the books weren't an actual series, just separate horror novels.

Sounds vaguely familiar. A Lois Duncan book perhaps?

thanks for the tip..I will check and get let you know if that was it

No it doesn't seem to be a Lois Duncan book..I looked through them all and couldn't find it. Thanks for your help though!!

Could it be a book written by V. C. Andrews?

Could it be this book?

nope I looked through the v.c. andrews books too..thanks for the help though. I remember that the house that the book was about was not the house that the girl lived in..it was a different house. And I think at some point in the book, there was a costume party for Halloween or something.

OMG I kind of feel like an idiot now, but I was trying to picture the cover again and come to think of it, maybe the girl wasn't looking in a mirror. She definitely had a scared expression on her face and there might have been a house in the background but I am not sure if there was a mirror there. The book cover background was definitely black and it was small, but thick. Sorry for all the confusion but maybe now this would help someone think of it??

>1 bloomgirl30: I think it was Her Evil Twin - part of the Poison Apple series
